Squads
The way that my series on this site work is that I create the squads using FM's editor, then export them to use in Versus Mode (which is part of FM Touch), which allows me to design my own tournaments easily - creating a bespoke tournament using the Editor is beyond my skills!
On this page you can download the squads used, if you want to try them out. They'll be in a zip file, which should have all the squads inside. Any questions about how to use the teams, please let me know through Twitter.

Draft World Cup 2018
This series is a full World Cup (including a marathon qualifying campaign) where teams are represented by players who play IN that nation, not players who are FROM that country. The 2018 edition featured 211 teams contesting across six qualifying tournaments. Below are folders containing the squads used in qualifying. The squads were created soon after FM18 came out in November. The names of the files use the teams' FIFA country codes.

For the finals, the 32 qualified teams were given new squads, which included new transfers, created approximately in April or May (if memory serves me correctly). I also put quite a bit of effort into giving the teams the latest kit, although for the teams actually in the proper World Cup there are some differences. These teams can be downloaded below:

European City Cup
A brief series I created to fill the time before the new FM game comes out (yes I already have my pre-order in) is the European City Cup, where major cities of Europe compete with players born in the city - so effectively like international football, but for cities. The cities included are the most populous from each country, with the total from each country based on (a) the size of the country and (b) its football pedigree. There are also 16 'wildcard' teams included, which are generally minor places, but are the birthplace of a particularly talented footballer.
